Subject: teTeX-2.0
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 18:16:08 CST
Well, a long time has been around since teTeX-1.0 ... I hereby proudly
presend:
===========================================================================
teTeX 2.0
===========================================================================
This is the announce of teTeX-2.0, a TeX distribution for UNIX
compatible systems.
===========================================================================
Main features of teTeX-2.0:
===========================================================================
- included files reviewed for license problems; teTeX now is free software!
- program packages: web2c 7.4.5, pdfTeX 1.10a, e-TeX 2.1, Omega 1.23.2.1,
xdvik 22.40v, dvipsk 5.92b, dviljk 2.6p2, dvipdfm 0.13.2c, ps2pk 1.5,
makeindex 2.14, texinfo 4.4, texconfig 2.0, updmap 2.0, texdoctk
- main TeX formats:
plain.tex 3.14159265, LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>, ConTeXt 2003.1.31
- TDS (TeX Directory Structure) compliant support tree
with fonts / macros / documentation: 150 MB, >11000 files
- easy to install and to customize, even for a multi-platform setup
- ready for producing resolution independent (bitmap free) postscript or
pdf documents (including thumbnails, hyperlinks and bookmarks)
For release notes, please look at ./NEWS inside the tetex-src tarball.
===========================================================================
Legal notice / license
===========================================================================
teTeX is free software. Individual files and sub-packages are copyright
by different authors, but I have taken care that everything is free
software as defined by the free software foundation:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
===========================================================================
The files / installation
===========================================================================
You can get teTeX-2.0 from the following server:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (UK)
Other servers will follow shortly:
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (GER)
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (US)
A full list of mirrors is available here:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites
From these servers, you need the following files for teTeX-2.0:
sources of the programs (required):
==> tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz
support tree with fonts / macros (required):
==> tetex-texmf-2.0.tar.gz
sources for parts of the texmf tarball (optional):
==> tetex-texmfsrc-2.0.tar.gz
The installation instructions are included in the tetex-src.tar.gz
archive as files INSTALL (complete instructions) and QuickInstall
(short version).
===========================================================================
Windows and MacOS X versions
===========================================================================
I don't maintain such ports myself, but you can get them here:
Windows (win32) http://www.fptex.org/
MacOS X (darwin) http://www.rna.nl/tex.html
===========================================================================
Documentation / getting started
===========================================================================
teTeX contains a lot of documentation about the packages it includes.
For a start, please look at
texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.{ps,pdf,dvi}
and
texmf/doc/index.html
texmf means the directory in which you have unpacked the tetex-texmf
tarball during the installation process
===========================================================================
De-support of repacked and binary distribution
===========================================================================
Unlike previous releases, I don't plan to make binary releases or
sub-packges of the texmf tarball. Lots of other projects and people
provide teTeX in repacked and compiled form and I am willing to maintain
links to such resources on teTeX's web page. I think that I will do
a better service to the TeX community by concentrating on the three
tarballs (src, texmf, texmfsrc) and shorter release cycles, than by
providing binaries and repacking the distribution.
===========================================================================

Appologies for having to ask. In an earlier posting today I sent a
message announcing an Install Fest in London, UK on the 1st March. The
wrong contact email address has been included, can you correct this for me
or cancel the submission completely, allowing me to resubmit a corrected
version?
The email address, which appears in the *** Contact *** section should be
gllugadmin@linux.co.uk and not gllugadmin@gllug.org.uk.
Thank you.

Subject: LessTif Release 0.93.40 is out
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 18:20:28 CST
The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
Release 0.93.40
of the LessTif library!
This is an intermediate release:
- it contains many XmText bugfixes, including one that broke 0.93.34 badly
- several other miscellaneous fixes
About LessTif:
LessTif is a "free" (LGPL'd) implementation of the OSF/Motif standard
GUI toolkit for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the Motif
(a product of The OpenGroup) versions 1.2 and 2.1.
So at this point, nearly all Motif 1.2 apps compile and work out of the box
with LessTif! We still lack substantial parts of the new 2.1 functionality,
but most 2.x applications can already be built, and used (many don't use
the 2.x novelties).
Some run-time problems however may still exist. The LessTif Core team is
interested in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome - patches are even more welcome!
More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:
http://www.lesstif.org
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/lesstif
The LessTif Core Team
P.S. This release was built using the following versions of the auto* tools:
Running on:
Linux 2.4.20 #11 Thu Jan 23 21:05:01 CET 2003 i686
Using:
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.2
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.110 2002/10/23 01:39:54)
